Lynden Door will have three reconstituted veneer doors on display at the HD Expo in Las Vegas. The doors feature unique Echo Wood brand engineered or "reconstituted" veneers supplied by Hardwood Specialty Products. (Image left: reconstituted wenge)
See these doors at Booth 7753, May 14-15.
Reconstituted veneer is made by slicing veneers from abundant species (or plantation-grown timber) and then dying - with water-based, non-toxic colorants - and re-stacking, re-gluing and finally re-slicing the flitch on edge. This ingenious process results in an engineered veneer that, in its simplest form, has the appearance of a vertical grain veneer. Specialty looks can be acheived to simulate specific species, flat grains and figured veneer.
"Recon" veneer wins environmental points for substituting abundant species for rare or endangered trees. Designers love recon for its uniformity.

10 distinct "species" are stocked and these veneers can be sketched (laid up with opposing grain directions) or mixed on one door. Virtually all of the Lynden Door options can be applied to recon-faced doors, including custom machining, no-VOC clear coat finishing (recon veneer cannot be stained), various cores; including fire-rated and the full complement of GreenDor environmental/health-related attributes.
Ask Rich Gorrill and his team at booth 7753 about the Echo Wood line and see the material in action on our full-sized door slabs, on display.
